Pre-requisite: Review current MOU and bring to class for possible review and comparison to the checklist.

Parking: Free parking is available onsite. Visitors will need to check in at the main entrance. They will then follow signs to the upstairs Professional Development Room.

Topic to be covered:
SRO MOU Development – Mark Riggin, from CES, will present on considerations for a new MOU Relationship or a Revised MOU. An MOU between the school District and the local police department is an essential document outlining each organization’s responsibilities and functions. A well generated MOU will answer many questions on how and when an SRO or police officer will respond in a school setting. The CES’ MOU class will present a basic understanding of a school/police MOU agreement, highlight relevant case law, and review an MOU “checklist” that will cover a wide range of topics and issues that should be discussed when sitting with school police stakeholders during the MOU generation process.
